Eagle Flag of Epirus
Vol 5 Chapter 77: gossip
"This is—who made the rumor?" Gottfrey's face changed suddenly, and it was obvious that the confession on the paper made him unable to calm down anymore.
"It was first circulated from those prisoners, I am afraid that many people already know it." Looking at the opponent's vehemently negative reaction, Otto Roche can now basically guess that the content on the paper is true.
"It must be the hands and feet made by the Greeks. I said before that they shouldn't be put into the city." Gottfrey clenched his fists and said, pressing the midweek paper on the table. .
But Duke Otto shrugged and replied: "It doesn’t matter whether this matter is true or not, Gottfrey, because in fact many people in the city believe in the rumored William Chapley. The nephew of the Marquis de Teide is the real heir, and now that child has taken refuge in the Greeks."
"It's just a lie that shakes the morale of the army! William Chapulitt doesn't have any so-called heirs at all!" Impatient Gottfrey repeatedly denied, but it aggravated Duke Otto's suspicion.
"So how do you explain that the Greeks appeared behind us unknowingly from your territory before?" asked in a questioning tone. Duke Otto had already become suspicious in his heart. They besieged the Greeks on the Acropolis Mountain before. The camp was attacked by Turkic cavalry at the last moment, and such a large-scale ambush to the Principality of Athens would undoubtedly need to pass through the borders of Achaia, but they did not receive any warning signals. After contacting what was said in the rumors, Otto Roche had already believed that everything that happened today was due to the negligence caused by Gottfrey's failure to eliminate roots.
All of a sudden, the atmosphere became tense, and Gottfrey was also speechless. In fact, he had realized this in his heart, but he still couldn't admit this fact. In particular, what makes him feel uneasy is that it is hard to say whether the Achaia state behind him will be loyal to him.
"This is a divorce of the Greeks. The news should be blocked immediately. We can't let these nonsense spread. First throw those nonsense people into jail and kill them." Gottfer was speechless for a while. Li finally came up with a solution, and must immediately cut off the spread of the rumors. If you let it go, I am afraid that the Achaean soldiers under his command will also be unstable.
But Duke Otto, who was standing in front of him, shook his head and directly refused his request, "This is unrealistic. The identity of the released people has been verified almost, and they have no problem. The residents of the city treat them. Regarding them as heroes, I have more sympathy and respect for them, and as a duke, I must be responsible for tidying up people's hearts. What's more, the fact that the news has been spread out in the past two days and forcibly blocked news will only worsen the situation."
"Then what do you want to do?" Seeing Alto Roche, who refused his request one after another, Gottfrey couldn't help but asked with some anger in his heart.
The Duke of Athens seemed to have already prepared, so he waited for the other person to speak, and slowly said: "That's why I asked you to discuss. I hope that your soldiers stationed in the city will be temporarily disarmed, and I will send someone to guarantee you. Their safety and other matters will be dealt with after this turmoil is over."
"This is ridiculous, what's a joke?" The furious Gottfrey never expected that the other party would make such an unreasonable request in turn. If it weren't for the current situation, Gottfrey would almost draw his sword. And got up.
But Duke Otto didn’t change his face, “Of course I’m not kidding, because compared to yours now, you may be a threat to the safety of all of us. Once someone really believes the so-called “rumor” and decides to take refuge, they will You know exactly what the consequences will be."
"Don't you realize that it was Justinian's little fox's conspiracy to instigate discord!" Gottfrey roared, completely devoid of the calm demeanor of the past.
But this kind of reaction was of no use to Otto Roche, and he shrugged and said: "In fact, this is an arrogant scheme, and it is an arrogant scheme that can be successful no matter what you do." Although he was born in the army, it does not mean that he I couldn't see the purpose of the Greeks outside the city. No matter how they chose, the other party had successfully shaken people's hearts, so now he can only make a choice.
Gottfrey’s success is like a time bomb. If Justinian really calls on William Chapulitt’s heir, then the Achaean army in the city will undoubtedly become the biggest factor of instability.
As soon as Duke Otto’s words fell, the people in the room were smashed away. The Athenian soldiers who had been waiting outside for orders rushed in, heavily armed and menacing~www.readwn.com~ and seeing this scene, he was stunned. Tefrey finally understood the other party's intention to come over.
"The enemy is at present, and he doesn't want to retreat, but he **** in the same room, huh, it's really good!" Gottfrey with a sneer crossed his eyebrows and looked at everything in front of him, but when he recalled what he had done before, he felt even more irony.
Isn't it the same? In order to achieve the goal, any means are at no cost!
"At least I won't leave as much room as you did, Gottfrey. After all this is over, I will naturally let you go. But before the Greeks retreat, I hope you and your people will be able to rest in peace. Some. Come to send your Lord Marquis to leave without any rudeness!" After that, Otto Roche tried a color, and then the guards on both sides half intimidated the Marquis of Achaia and left the room with the pale face of Achaia. .
"Do you think that the Greeks will retreat in this way? Don't be kidding! You will regret it sooner or later!" The roaring Gottfrey could only vent the senseless anger in his heart in this way.
Looking at the back of the other party leaving, Duke Otto didn't change his face. Although he was a soldier, he was not even a knight in the beginning, and there was no nobleman at all. However, he was able to stand out as the monarch of the Principality of Athens, and naturally he was definitely not an idler. In fact, he did this with two sides. One is to eliminate possible hidden dangers, and the two are really a last resort. The monarch of Achaia may become his last bargaining chip.
"If the order is passed on, it is said that the Marquis of Gottfrey ordered all the knights and nobles of Achaia to come and meet, and there is no mistake in discussing important matters." The seemingly vulgar man showed a cold face and immediately ordered. And everyone present at this moment felt the chill in his words, and couldn't help but shudder.
